The crisis in Nanshan has been resolved, and the enemies have retreated like locusts, leaving only a wail.
The dead wood and bare rocks of the entire Nanshan Mountain seemed to be dyed vermilion by the lingering smell of blood, and it was particularly dazzling near the North Mountain.
Although the enemy retreated, Wang Dalu and his team seemed to have won the battle of Nanshan, but it was just a miserable victory.
In the battle of Nanshan, there were five to six thousand people participating in the battle. In the end, less than 40% were able to stand, nearly 30% died, and the remaining ones fell to the ground and were unable to walk and needed some time to cultivate.
Eight of the more than thirty monks in the Yuan Realm also died in this battle. Most of them were killed by Wang Chao's fierce sword energy. Fortunately, Viscount Liu Jin, despite his advanced cultivation, never responded to the numerous monks who intercepted him.
The killer killed him with great pain, causing only minor injuries to a dozen monks.
There were only three days left after the war, and Wang Dalu was not idle during these three days. He first visited the injured soldiers, miners, and villagers in Beiqu Town, and then sent Li Jinbao with a team to liberate Wolong City.
crisis.
A bedroom in the North District Mansion is smoked with longyan incense, and its light aroma makes people feel refreshed.
Xiang Guang finally opened his eyes and saw two maids standing in front of the bed. Just as he was about to get up and ask a few questions, he couldn't help but let out a hiss of pain.
Some gold trauma powder has been applied to the broken arm, and there is no bleeding, but the pain is still unbearable.
Seeing this, the maids guarding the bedside quickly stepped forward to help Xiang Guang lift him up, while the other maid hurriedly ran outside the bedroom to report the news.
Not long after, the figures of Li Shishi and Xue Xiaocui, the master and servant, appeared at the door.
At this time, Wang Dalu was practicing in the spirit-gathering array in the back mountain, hoping to break through the Du Vein acupoints that had been loosened during the war, and strive for an early success in the birth of the fetus.
When Xiang Guang saw Li Shishi appear in his room, he immediately stood up from his side, bared his teeth slightly and endured the pain, kneeling on one knee to greet Li Shishi.
Li Shishi didn't want Xiang Guang to do this, but Xiang Guang was a stubborn and resolute man. In his eyes, Wang Dalu was the master of his life, and Li Shishi was his mistress.
Disrespectful.
After Xiang Guang woke up, he learned from his maid that he had suffered a serious loss of vitality during the battle and had lost an arm. He had relied solely on his own will to support him until he finally couldn't hold on anymore and was in a coma for three days and three nights.
In the past few days, Master Li and his master and servant had been taking care of him. Wang Dalu hurriedly came to visit him on the day he fell into coma.
Xiang Guang was very grateful to Wang Dalu and Li Shishi, but he seemed a little lonely during the conversation with Li Shishi.
Li Shishi was a woman with a delicate temperament and a clear heart. She didn't know what Xiang Guang was thinking, so she spoke to comfort him.
"Brother Xiang is worried that he will lose his cultivation level now that he has lost an arm, and that he will not be able to serve the Lord by his side in the future?"
Seeing that Li Shishi had spoken his mind, Xiang Guang said with some pain and determination.
"Although my cultivation is not as good as before, I can still use my broken body to guide your lord's horse, hold a stool, and ward off evil spirits. I just hope that you and your lady will not continue to serve you and your lord because of the broken body of my subordinates."
After saying that, Xiang Guang knelt on the ground and stood up regardless of Xue Xiaocui's obstruction.
Seeing that Wang Dalu had such an upright and loyal subordinate, Li Shishi was very happy for him and hurriedly asked Xue Xiaocui to help him up and said.
"Brother Xiang's loyalty to you is seen by everyone in the North District Mansion. Your Excellency once said in front of everyone that you must repay your life-saving grace. He knows that your cultivation is now compromised, so he asked for it.
Butler Nie will accept you as his disciple and teach you the profound Taoism."
Xiang Guang was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Steward Nie?"
Seeing that Xiang Guang was still a little confused after being injured, Xue Xiaocui reminded him with a smile.
"Brother Xiang, have you forgotten that at the end of the battle a few days ago, a person with the best Taoist and Taoist skills appeared, our Lord's old housekeeper Nie Zi. Like you, he was also ambushed by his good brother and had one of his limbs cut off
Fortunately, Mr. Wang Gang took his arm and now he has killed that abominable Taoist Taoist Lu Wanshan, and his great revenge has been avenged."
Only then did Xiang Guang remember the one-armed old man who turned the tide of the battle. When he thought that the other party was also one-armed like himself, his lonely eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and he looked anxiously towards Xue Xiaocui.
"Where is old man Nie? I will go to him now to become my teacher and ask Miss Xue to tell me."
Without waiting for Xue Xiaocui to tell him, Li Shishi spoke up.
"Steward Nie also consumed a lot of vitality in the battle. He is currently practicing in the magic circle with you in the back mountain to restore his vitality. I heard you said that if Lu Wanshan hadn't been so arrogant and couldn't stand the help of Viscount Liu Jin beside him, the outcome would have been impossible.
It’s easy to say. Butler Nie left a message asking you to wait until he recovers his cultivation level and then he will take you on a tour as a disciple.”
"Traveling? But..."
Seeing that Xiang Guang was hesitant, Li Shishi explained.
"My lord and I both think this is a good opportunity for you. You may have some other opportunities when traveling abroad, and you will come back in the future. Sir, you don't have to worry. According to news from Guangyuan City, your father Wang Gang
Baron, Mr. Li and Mr. Lu have reconciled with the Hou Dynasty, and one month later Li Guanghou will personally relieve those officials who voluntarily leave the court and leave the court within a time limit."
Xiang Guang couldn't believe it, but since it came from his mistress, it was true.
My family belongs to the Li Guang Hou Dynasty. I have been to Guangyuan City, the main city of the Hou Dynasty, several times and was shocked by the majestic buildings and the advanced monks everywhere. I never expected that the Hou Dynasty with such huge strength would actually fight with me.
The forces to which his father belonged reached a reconciliation, splitting off part of the territory of the Hou Dynasty and losing a large number of people with profound Taoism. This was a fatal blow to the Hou Dynasty.
"Will the Li Guanghou Dynasty, which has stood for more than 800 years, be torn to pieces and fall apart?"
In a dense forest fifty miles away from Wolong City, there is a temporary simple military camp that can accommodate four to five thousand people.
"Report!"
An urgent report from the soldiers came from outside the commander's tent.
There were three men in armor sitting inside the tent. The leading one was a lean figure with squinty smiling eyes. When he saw the news outside the tent, he hurriedly let him in to report.
Hearing that the enemy's first reinforcements, twenty miles away from him, suddenly had two thousand additional troops, he repeatedly confirmed that this was not a tactic by the enemy. He also heard that the defenders of Wolong City were also sharpening their swords. Apparently this time
The arrival of reinforcements gave them great confidence and they wanted to eat their own troops. Thinking of this, they hurriedly said to the two generals sitting under the tent.
"Two generals, it seems that something went wrong when Viscount Liu Jin and Mr. Lu were besieging the son of the traitor Wang Gang in Nanshan. Otherwise, how could there be reinforcements arriving today? We should make a decision early and never stay here.
"
A younger general on the left looked at the cowering appearance of Baron Wu Yong, who was in charge, and mocked rudely.
"Is this the intention of the Baron to withdraw the troops? We made an agreement with my family before leaving. We are here to contain the soldiers of Wolong City and the reinforcements sent by Nanshan to rescue Wolong City. When the Viscount leads us,
After a bloodbath in Nanshan, we will use our troops to capture Wolong City, the home of Wang Gang, the traitor. Why are you running away now that there is no news from Nanshan?"
Baron Wu Yong didn't pay attention to the sarcasm from the young general. He still smiled and asked the middle-aged general sitting on the right who looked more steady.
"General Qian, how about we temporarily evacuate fifty miles at this time?"
The middle-aged general shook his head slightly at the somewhat impatient young general beside him, stroking his beard with his hand and said to the smiling Baron Wu Yong who was sitting in the chair.
"The two of us were ordered by the Lord Viscount to obey orders in your tent. Of course, we will obey the Lord Baron's orders and dare not disobey them."
Wu Yong's smile became even stronger.
"Haha, they say that among the generals under Viscount Liu Jin, General Qian is particularly mature and prudent. It turns out that he is so after getting along with him during this time. What a blessing to Viscount Liu!"
Wu Yong stood up, read the military report just sent by the soldiers again, and then said to the soldiers outside the tent who were listening to the announcement.
"Pass my order. The whole army is ready to go and retreat fifty miles to the north. After arriving at the destination, they will bury the pot and make rice. Anyone who disobeys the order by mistake must not be killed!"
Wu Yong said the last word "Zhan" loudly, and out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the young general who was still unhappy below.
Following Wu Yong's order, the entire barracks fell and began to drum up.
After the young general walked some distance away from the main tent, he was severely scolded by the mature and serious Qian Jun.
Seeing that he was still unwilling to give in, he looked down on the legendary Wu Yong who only relied on flattery and flattery to reach the position of baron, so he spoke seriously.
"Do you think that Wu Yong can get to where he is today just by flattering others? Do you think that our Crown Prince can deceive anyone? Wu Yong seems to be weak and timid, but in fact he is a cunning and insidious person. Today you are slandering his face.
The sun will definitely take revenge on you."
The young general said without fear.
"What are you afraid of? I am a soldier under Lord Viscount. He can't control me."
Qian Jun shook his head and sighed.
"This may not be a problem, but what I am most worried about is whether the Viscount is well now. If there is a change in Nanshan, Wu Yongbao may not rebel before the war and arrest us and go to Wolong City to claim rewards."
